Long distance love affair, is it possible? This is always the question of my friends who failed in a relationship. Some have successful love life but thinks that it is impossible, some simply don't believe it at all.
My husband and I are happily married for a year and 6 months now. Before we got married we've been steady for 10 years and 7 months and all those years we are separated by a long winding road. I remember one time when we are having problems. One of my office bet that it will be the end of our relationship but instead it became stronger.
We started as real good friends back in 1995, He courted me after 2 years and he became my boyfriend after 6 months of courtship. Sad to say that after 7 months in the relationship I have to transfer school, worst it is located in a different city. After graduation, I need to move out in another city for work. He was displaced in Luzon while I'm in Visayas. We only communicate through letters and it improved to exchanging text and calls (thanks to cellphone technology). We got to see each other 3-4 times a year for 8 years until I transferred work here in Manila. You see we have undergone through so many troubles and misunderstandings, there was a time when there is a 3rd party involve but before I do such thing, we are able to talk and settled our feelings. Intuition is the key, when he feels something he talked and so do I. WE have an open communication and this is the best tool for a long distance relationship. Last year we decided to seal it in marriage. Today our relationship as husband and wife are getting stronger each day. We do pray to the Good Lord that He will continue to bless this beautiful relationship that have.
As for me,Long distance relationship is really possible if both parties are faithful and true, determined to make the relationship to work. How about you? What can you say?

Perseverance is the key. Anyone who'd feel that they're fighting a losing cause would make the relationship fail.
I have been involved with long distance relationship before, it went on for 8years or more, the only thing that kept it alive was because I persisted that it was the 'one', but he wasn't a believer, and after a long while, he decided to settle down with someone else. After everything, he told me he regretted not giving us a chance as much as he would have wanted. But well, relationships are built to last but the people in them are the quitters.
Now I'm in a long distance relationship once again because he was posted in another country to work. Communication is great because of a lot of mediums these days. But still there are some conflicts that would have been settled quicker if we were in the same area. There had been 3rd parties before but we got through it. We're not yet married, but am hoping that he is the one and hoping as well that he feels and have decided that I should be the one.
